Experienced Chef Seeking Employment

" With 5 years of experience in the culinary industry, my journey began at Cresta Jameson Hotel, a 2-star hotel where I gained my first professional experience. I then moved to Cresta Lodge Hotel, a 3-star facility which has helped me in exploring diverse culinary perspectives and the opportunity to serve up to 750 quests per evening, including celebrities, musicians, high-profile clients, and top local government officials. Additionally, expertise in pastry arts was developed during my internship at Holiday Inn Sandton hotel in South Africa, specialising in corporate events and VIP hospitality during football matches, serving between 500 and 2000 quests per event.

A strong background in sports nutrition includes developing meal plans tailored to high-protein or high-carbohydrate diets, ensuring balanced caloric intake. Leadership experience extends to launching a restaurant within a countryside complex, overseeing kitchen setup, menu development, staff recruitment, and training. As a crisis manager, a successful marketing strategy was implemented to improve restaurant profitability despite challenging conditions.

Now seeking new career opportunities to apply culinary expertise in a dynamic restaurant environment. "
